_________________________________________________________
It’s
been a busy and exciting year thus far and there is so
much more in store as CompuTech for Humanity will be
celebrating 5 years of service to the community. There
are many of you out there that have been with us from
the beginning. We want to celebrate you during our first
annual fundraiser event. In the face of many
challenges our supporters have shown unparalleled
commitment and dedication by providing time, funding
assistance, leadership, and in turn CFH helps to bridge
the technical divide, to encourage education, promote
technology, promote recycling efforts, and to inspire
hope, dignity and dreams to those disadvantaged by
disability and poverty. Collectively we strive to
strengthen our abilities, our communities, and our
futures. Stay tuned for updates and information on how
you can be part of our celebration!
